Mladen Turk commented on DAEMON-258:
------------------------------------
I don't think that's possible.
procrun can run both in-process and detached services, and this would limit the
usage because it would require users applications to report 'OK' to the daemon.
Since startup can take long time this could even result in services reported as
failed although still waiting for sync from users application.
IMHO the 'refresh' is not such a big deal.

> Currently, when starting a windows service from the service control panel
> based on prunsrv using the JVM.dll the start method is called in a separate
> thread. Upon calling this thread, the service is marked as "started" in the
> service control panel. This is confusing, as if something goes wrong in the
> program start-up sequence (e.g. a database connection is unavailable) then
> the program will fail to start successfully but the user will not get any
> indication of this (they have to press "refresh" in the windows services
> window to see the service failed to start).
> It would be better to have an option to report the "service" as "starting"
> while the "start" method is running and only when the method returns, mark
> the service as "started" or "stopped" depending on a return code from the
> "start" method.
